Are you concerned about the oil not getting hot enough to boil off moisture?
To answer the OP's question, mine is between the IC and radiator, with a Spal fan on it set to turn on automatically when the oil gets over 210 or so.

Yeah I do. The car hasn't been driven much at all the last 6 months due to winter. I've had the oil cooler kit just sitting in my garage till I could get the time to put it on. Just cruising on the highway and staying out of boost the oil temp sits right around 220. If I start driving the car hard temp rise over 245 or so. I consider that too hot.
I'll throw the cooler on and also look into fans to see how much the temps drop. I guess worst case scenario is the coolers not enough and I'll have to go another route.
Thanks for the input everyone.
